From the moment you arrive, it's clear this oceanfront property was designed for one thing: living life to its fullest. Set on an extraordinary 1.35-acre oceanfront parcel, this custom residence was designed to exceptional structural and aesthetic standards by architect Sabrina Vogel, and the build was skillfully completed in 2021 by George Gayle of Lowcountry Custom Home Builders. At its core are a robust steel-and-wood frame and a striking copper roof, both offering superior durability in the toughest of coastal environments. In addition, Andersen impact-rated windows and doors offer both protection and panoramic ocean views. Inside, expert craftsmanship is on display throughout, from the site-finished walnut flooring and solid wood custom cabinetry to the meticulously detailed moldings.Few homes are constructed with this level of intention, durability, and architectural refinement. At the heart of the home's 5,675 square feet are its gathering spaces, including a grand open floor plan that stretches to a full-width back porch -- and beyond that, the ocean. Enter through a generous foyer highlighted by a custom hand-painted mural. Large windows and glass doors fill the living and dining areas with natural light while framing sweeping ocean views. The kitchen features marble countertops with Zellige tile backsplash and natural brick accent wall; high-end appliances, including a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and wine refrigerator, a Thermador dual-fuel range, Wolf double wall ovens, and two paneled Asko dishwashers. A separate scullery provides additional prep and storage space and features a second paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sub-Zero beverage drawers, a full-height Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, Sharp microwave drawer, Scotsman ice maker, and extensive cabinetry. The family room has a coffered ceiling and a gas fireplace with custom built-ins on either side. Sliding glass doors in the living and dining areas access the large screened porch, which is less an outdoor space and more an extension of the living room itself. The porch is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a brick hearth and surround. It includes a grilling area, complete with 42" Lynx grill, vent hood, Scotsman ice maker, and Sub-Zero refrigerator, making outdoor entertaining effortless. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just enjoying a quiet morning, the view will always be the star of the show. There are two bedrooms with en suite baths on the main level. One is a primary suite with ocean views. The second is a suite with two sets of built-in bunks, each with drawers below and stairs to the top. The bunk room has its own den and full bath. The laundry room is also on the main level and is thoughtfully designed with two sets of washers and dryers, pull-out drying racks, an elevated dog-washing station, and a built-in sliding dog gate. Two stunning primary suites occupy the upper level. Both feature vaulted ceilings, automated programmable shades, and heated bathroom floors. Additionally, both open to a back porch with next-level sweeping ocean views. Also on the upper level are a gym/flex room with ocean views, a front den/extra bedroom with a balcony, a half-bath, and an office with cypress walls and built-in cabinets. The ground floor of the home is fully enclosed and includes a 3-car garage with storage in front, and, in back, an entertainment hub featuring dedicated golf lockers; arcade games; a pool table; a commercial-grade ice maker; and an L-shaped bar with prep counters, beverage refrigerators, and wall-mounted TVs. It's a sports bar, game room, and pro shop all in one! Double, rolling doors extend the ground-floor rec room to the covered patio with a heated saltwater pool and multiple sitting/gathering areas. Beyond the patio is a pickleball court and a 4-hole putting green. Beyond that is a large gas firepit with a paver patio surround and a 3-hole island green with a sand trap -- an exact 50% scale replica of the legendary 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, complete with three tees at varying yardages. Tying it all together is a fully integrated Sonos surround sound system -- covering nearly every room and outdoor space, including the firepit -- alongside centralized smart lighting and security cameras. An ipe boardwalk stretches from the back fence to the gazebo and then down to the beach. A locking gate just beyond the gazebo creates a privacy barrier between the property and the beach. The current owners meticulously built and maintained the property as their family's cherished vacation home. (The home has never been rented out.) The amount of heart and soul put into the design and build cannot be overstated.

ALL THE BEACH COMMUNITIES OF CHARLESTON SC

 

SULLIVAN’S ISLAND

Sullivan’s Island SC is probably the area’s most desired public beach communities because it’s not gated, it’s quiet, and it has its own little town feeling where you can drive your golf cart around once on the island. Mount Pleasant, the close suburbia town just on the other side of the Ben Sawyer bridge is close enough that the homeowners of Sullivan’s Island can get off the island for a night on the town, bite to eat at a nice restaurant, see a movie, or go shopping without any hassle. Prices for homes on Sullivan’s island start in the $500’s for a small virtually never available condo to well over $5 Million for beachfront homes on Sullivan’s Island or waterfront property. Don’t get too excited as there are only a few condos on the entire island. Once considered one of the most expensive per capita places to live in the U.S., Sullivan’s Island homes rarely come to market because the demand is so high, and thus property values remain high, and oceanfront homes usually only total a few at most on the market at any given time.

FOLLY BEACH SC

Considered to be the most fun, current, less family-oriented and “party type” of the beach communities in Charleston, Folly Beach offers all the fun and excitement you could want. Located just at the end of Folly road down that runs through James Island, Folly Beach is what some call the “Myrtle Beach” of Charleston. Real estate is more affordable on Folly Beach than the other beach communities, and luckily that means so are the beachfront homes on Folly. There are many condos to choose from on Folly Beach and a few beachfront condos on Folly Beach that occasionally be offered below $500,000. Folly Beach is home to the “washout”, the place where local surfer congregate when the waves are favorable. There are a few nice restaurants on Folly, and a handful of “drinking holes” that locals love to frequent.

KIAWAH ISLAND GOLF RESORT

If you haven’t ever been to Kiawah Island I suggest you at least visit it once in your life as it truly is one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever see. So it’s no wonder that there are many celebrities that own homes in the luxury gated resort community of Kiawah. Beachfront homes on Kiawah can start as high as $5 Million, and so can a lot without a home built. Just like you’d expect there are condos on such a palatial resort too, and luckily the beachfront condos on Kiawah are more affordable. There are pricey costs associated with buying homes on Kiawah Island that one must consider if you aren’t used to owning in a high-end luxury environment. With this being one of the United States most exclusive gated communities there are fees and dues that aren’t standard in a traditional neighborhood.

SEABROOK ISLAND

Considered the “sister” of Kiawah, Seabrook Island is right next to Kiawah and is also a gated private community that offers two golf courses, tennis courts, stunning beaches, club facilities, and more. Comprised of more regular full-time residents than it’s sister island, Seabrook is considerably more affordable but doesn’t offer quite as much luxury as Kiawah, but unlike Kiawah, Seabrook Island has true deep waterfront homes. The club membership on Seabrook Island is also more affordable and offer oceanfront pools, dining, and is home to the only full-service beach community equestrian center, but it is required here, whereas on Kiawah they are not. Seabrook like Kiawah Island has condos & villas in addition to beachfront homes

EDISTO ISLAND BEACH

The furthest away from Charleston, Edisto is between Hilton Head and Charleston. It’s the least developed, and more quiet of all the SC beach communities, and still offers owners a nice standard of living for the coastal lifestyle. Also, the most affordable of the “Charleston” beachfront communities, Edisto beachfront homes won’t provide their residents much in the way of entertainment or activities other than standard water associated things such as boating, fishing, crabbing, etc. Edisto Island is a much smaller beach and waterfront community similar to Beaufort SC (but with a real beach).
